In Hong Kong's two markets in Kowloon, there have been a number of confirmed cases of fish stall staff that have caused concern. Some Hong Kong medical experts believe that the government's work on tracking close contacts is not in place, and suggests that relevant personnel in the main street should be tested.
Hung Hom Market and To Kwa Wan Market, which have newly confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia, were closed for two days for disinfection and waited for environmental virus test results. The fish stalls in the two markets have successively diagnosed and raised concerns.
However, some experts said that the risk of spreading the virus from aquatic products is low. It is believed that it is most likely due to the epidemic in the community, which has further spread to the market. It is recommended to expand the virus detection of relevant staff in the market to cut off the chain of transmission.
Liang Zichao believes that Hong Kong's inadequate tracking of close contacts has led to the continued spread of the virus, and suggested that testing should be strengthened.
In addition, after the third wave of the outbreak in Hong Kong, 12 types of premises including beauty salons and fitness centers closed again. The founding chairman of the Hong Kong Beauty Industry Association, Ye Shixiong, said that with zero income, the industry still has to pay rent and wages. The overall loss amounts to 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. It is difficult to estimate how many beauty salons are going to close down. He also mentioned that nearly one-third of the beauty industry applied for the government's epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic fund subsidy in April, and has not yet received any funds. He hopes that the landlord can reduce rent and tide over the difficulties with the industry.
